hi all! i just thought i would share a recipe for a healthful eating strategy that i have discovered along the way from my experiences in oa and with a registered dietician.

if you eat like this for 3 weeks you'll see a big difference in weight, attitude, and energy level. try to eat only 3-4 times per day, with nothing in between meals but living food, i e, food that is not dead, and prepackaged. usually those are high in acid and those kill your body's metabolizing mechanism. live foods [foods as close to the natural state as possible] are higher in alkalinity, which the blood really prefers.

veggies-fresh or frozen is bestsalad [all you can eat]tomatogreen beansbroccoliasparagusmushroomscucumberscarrotsceleryetc

fat-you need this too! limit to 5grams per mealbutterpeanuts [1 oz]oiluse spray oil for cooking or on salad...does not amount to much

fruit-fresh or frozenavoid canned as they are soaked in sugary water.pineapple [canned is ok, as long as in natural juice]watermelon [a good filler]raisinsbananapeachnectarinesgrapesapplesetc

cautions

eat as much fresh whole live as you want. fill yourself up with these

limit fats as they kill your body's metabolizing mechanism

make delicious dressing using fruit juice or just vinegar or lemon. watch oil as it counts towards the 5 grams of fat per meal. also, the salads natural juices are delicious too, but the taste buds need to be reconditioned from too much sweet and salty.

limit snack foods such as chips; balance them with other whole, live natural foods. limit quantity to 10 to satisfy the urge for salty, crunchy, texture eating

avoid sugar based drinks....this is like putting sugar in a gas tank! they kill the insulin distribution mechaism. drink lots of water every day [lots of times you think you are hungry, but usually a full stomach of water will suffice] make iced tea [cold water and a tea bag--put in the fridge before meal then add a splenda. splenda is made from real sugar cane, but the component that triggers the insulin has been extracted. that's what distinguishes it from other artificial sweeteners].

read labels! the most prominent ingredients are listed in the first 5. anything sugar such as dextrose, sucrose, maltodextrose in one of the 5 first ingredients should be avoided.

==================when eating is not planned, then patterns seem to design themselves; usually, that leads to grabbing what's quickest and most convenient...... not a good idea! here's to your health! enjoy!

One thing that I think has attributed to my well being is taking Fish Oil supplements. I take 2 pills every morning as well as Vitamin B12 (liquid form NOT pill, administered under your tongue for 30 seconds).
